Patent CA-2460295-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUMAR SURINDER
IPC: H04L27/36
Filed: 2004-03-09
Abstract: A method to implement direct digital QAM modulation at an RF frequency results in the superior characteristics of high output power using non-linear amplifiers, high frequency resolution, low phase noise, instantaneous frequency change capability, wide frequency setting ability, and suitability for full implementation in a digital ASIC. Two digitally synthesized RF signals are generated for use as the two vectors. The two vectors are individually controlled in phase and summed to provide a combined phase and amplitude modulation that forms the modulated signal. The synthesized RF signal is generated from a higher reference frequency using a variable pulse stretching technique implemented with programmable delay lines. The amount of the pulse stretch in each cycle is controlled by a phase increment value. Pulse stretching can be extended beyond one cycle by pulse swallowing, allowing the generation of an RF signal from DC up to and including the input reference frequency. Phase modulation is added by digital control of the pulse stretching according to the phase modulation data bits.

Abstract: A system for monitoring a movable barrier in which a small receiver box is wired in line between a television signal source and a television monitor.  When the receiver box receives a signal from a garage door operator mounted near the garage door, a small icon is displayed in the corner of the television indicating that the door is open. This will place an indication of the status of the garage door right where many people are looking. Advantageously, many people watch television before going to bed and having an icon displayed exactly where they will be looking before falling asleep can help increase home security.

Title: Piece a main dentaire
Inventor: TURNER DEREK
IPC: A61C1/18
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne une pièce à main dentaire comprenant une structure de turbine qui crée un flux d'air radial sur les aubes de roue autour de la circonférence totale de la turbine. Ceci permet de générer un couple supplémentaire et d'éviter une poussée asymétrique sur la roue. Une paire de paliers à air espacés axialement portent la turbine. L'alimentation d'air fournie à la turbine est commandée de façon que les paliers à air soient en flottement avant que l'air d'entraînement ne soit fourni à la turbine et après que l'air d'entraînement ne soit plus fourni à celle-ci. Ceci permet d'assurer que les paliers à air sont toujours opérationnels indépendamment de l'état opérationnel de la turbine. Ladite pièce à main présente une forme ergonomique améliorée, en particulier la forme et la configuration de la tête frontale ou d'entraînement, qui permet d'obtenir un espace mort supplémentaire pour la dent et un meilleur champ de vision. Un raccord pivotant articulé au cordon ombilical permet de réduire la contrainte physique exercée sur le poignet du dentiste. Un raccord de couple auto-ajustable de type à clé et à verrou situé entre la fraise et la pièce de serrage permet d'adapter des fraises classiques et celle de l'ensemble de type à clé et à verrou. Un ensemble d'arrêt automatique pour la turbine empêche une accumulation de vide pendant la décélération de la turbine. La structure spécifique de la soupape d'arrêt automatique de l'invention ferme les conduites d'entraînement et d'évacuation d'air.
